Optimal confinement potential in quantum Hall droplets

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2015-05-13 v1

Abstract

We find that the confinement potential of a few electron quantum dot can be tuned to significantly increase the overlap with certain quantum Hall trial wave functions. Besides manipulating inter-electron interaction, this approach may prove useful in quantum point contact experiments, which involve narrow constrictions.
